Succotash Shut-In

Succotash Clips Epi180: Trickin' 'n Clippin'

Succotash, the Comedy Soundcast Soundcast, was launched in 2011 with the idea of promoting comedy soundcasts in what was then a marketplace still trying to find its way. By featuring short clips of shows being produced by funny folks both known and unknown, we like to feel that we maybe had a little tiny, eeny weeny, itsy bitsy bit to do with helping to ignite the torch of soundcasts across the globe! (But then we've always had a rather high opinion of ourselves...)

Original show host and executive producer Marc Hershon, along with booth announcer Bill Heywatt, engineer/producer Joe Paulino, associate producer Tyson Saner, musical director Scott Carvey, and booth assistant Kenny Durgis have kept the flame alive o'er these many years. In 2018, Hershon abandoned the host chair and anointed Saner to the position, with nary a notice from the legions of listeners. Typical.

Saluton. Estas mi, Tyson Saner. Welcome to
Succotash, The Comedy Soundcast Soundcast - The podcast
that dares to call itself a soundcast and features clips of comedy
soundcasts from all around the internet because well, that's
generally where soundcasts are stored and, ultimately, found and
clipped by yours truly.

It's
late October but not yet Halloween as I write this. Even so, if you
celebrate Halloween I'd like to wish you a happy one early because
the next episode of Succotash, The Comedy Soundcast
Soundcast will post afterwards... truth is I'll probably wish you a
"Happy After Halloween - Pre -Thanksgiving" when the time comes
because "reasons".

Coming up later in the program, we've got clips from: H3
Podcast, How To Be A Person, Threedom,
Gilbert Gottfried's Amazing Colossal Podcast,
Hollywood Handbook, and Good One: A Podcast About
Jokes.

We've also got a double dose of raging moderate Will Durst's Burst O' Durst
segment. This edition of Succotash is brought to you by
Henderson's Hallo Pants and TrumPoetry.com. (This epi features
Yours Truly doing a recitation from our
too-new-to-have-developed-even-a-hint-of-patina sponsor's
website.)

Are you ready? If not, remember that you can hit that pause
button if needed... it's one of the beautiful things about a
soundcast: the choice of when to listen... and choice is important,
is it not?

Just as it's MY choice to leave that pause there.

All right, let's go.

H3
Podcastsh3h3Productions
(often shortened to h3h3 or simply h3) is a comedy YouTube channel
produced by husband and wife duo Ethan and
Hila Klein. Their content mostly consists of
reaction videos and sketch comedy in which they satirize internet
culture. In addition to their main channel, they run a secondary
vlog channel by the name of Ethan and Hila and a third channel
called H3 Podcast. We've clipped from Epi84 from September 12th,
2018, in an episode featuring guest Bill Burr. In
this clip Ethan, Hila and Bill discuss having children and the All
Things Comedy network (whose comedian-based podcast content has
been frequently featured on Succotash The Comedy Podcast
Podcast (including About Last Night with Adam
Ray and Brad Williams, Bertcast
from comedian Bert Kreischer, and Skeptic
Tank with Ari Shaffer.

Gilbert Gottfried's
Amazing Colossal PodcastComedian and actor
Gilbert Gottfried, a man Stephen
King once called "a national treasure," talks with the
show business legends, icons and behind-the-scenes talents who
shaped his childhood and influenced his comedy. Along with co-host
and fellow pop culture fanatic Frank Santopadre,
Gilbert is joined by comics, actors, musicians, talk show hosts,
writers and other eyewitnesses to Hollywood history. Our clip
is from Epi 220 from last August, when Gilbert and Frank welcomed
an old friend, legendary comedy writer Bruce
Vilanch, and it features the telling of an encounter with
Donny Osmond and includes a brief bit about actor
and war hero Charles Durning.

ThreedomThe
three hosts of Threedom coming together were described by
Succotash executive producer Marc Hershon
as "The Voltron" of soundcasting in his recent review of this very
episode. (This Week In Comedy Podcasts, Vulture.com) After
all, when you consider that Scott Aukerman,
Lauren Lapkus and Paul F Tompkins
abandoned their regular formats to focus on the basics of being
funny with each other, it's the ultimate podcast powerplay. (Sorry
to use the "p" word.) This clip features the trio discussing
the philosophy of optimistic nihilism.

Hollywood
HandbookAn insider's guide to achieving your
showbiz dreams, Hollywood Handbook is from two A-List
it-boys who are living theirs. Hayes Davenport and
Sean Clements provide an exclusive VIP backstage
pass into Tinseltown politics, answer questions from unsuccessful
listeners, and bring in famous guests to discuss their craft and
how they became what they are — famous. We've clipped from an
episode featuring their visit with Patton Oswalt
from back in July, with a segment that raises the question of
whether or not certain animated rodents exist in a shared
universe.

How To Be a
PersonComedy writers Mike Drucker
(The Tonight Show, The Onion, Marvel) and Jess
Dweck (The Tonight Show, Late Night)
invite fellow comedians, writers, and other interesting people to
teach them how to be normal human beings. The clip we harvested is
from Epi 148 from May, called "How To Reheat Pizza and Get Airline
Miles". It features guest Samantha Ruddy, where
they talk about Montreal's "Just For Laughs" comedy festival, being
multilingual and, as advertised, how to reheat
pizza.

Good One: A Podcast
About JokesJust as titled, Good One: A Podcast
About Jokes is a podcast about…well…jokes, and the people who
tell them. Each week, a comedian plays one of their jokes and then
break it down with host and Vulture.com Senior Editor Jesse
David Fox. Nick Kroll is the guest in our clip from the
recent October 8th episode, entitled "Nick Kroll's Big Mouth
Shame-Filled Dirty Talk". David and Nick delves deeply into the
psyche of the comic's childhood self and how it influences the
aforementioned animated series Big
Mouth.

And with that, we bring this late October edition of
Succotash, The Comedy Soundcast Soundcast to a close. I
appreciate your taking the time to listen. I hope you've enjoyed
the selection of comedy soundcast clips, and that perhaps you'll
choose to listen to us again and/or seek out the full episodes of
any or all of the soundcasts sampled here. (Just click on the show
titles featured in the blog to be whisked off to their
homesite.)

Perhaps me from the future has some idea of those things because me
from the present has absolutely NO IDEA. :) So until next
time, Be decent to each other, Happy Halloween, get out and VOTE
for pity's sake and, if you wouldn't mind doing us a solid, could I
possibly ask — nay, gently implore you — to please, pass the
Succotash?
